My grandmother always used to say the same thing, iconomy. Then one day my uncle DID get hit by a car and the first thing he said to the EMTs was "I'm wearing clean underwear!"

True story.

I only have two:

1) Never get involved in a land war in Asia
and the lesser known:
2) Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

That's it.

According to Mythbusters, it's fine to eat where you shit (bacteria count in the bathroom was no worse than anywhere else).

It's true. It's actually pretty sagfe to eat your own poo, as long as you don't have hepatitis.

And if, you know, you don't mind being labeled a fuckin' freaky shit-eater.

Glad we got that covered. It seems to have been an issue for a couple days now.

So much for "eat shit and die."

Advice: If you wake up with a toe tag, let someone know.

Don't fight a land war in Asia. I've followed this advice, and it's served me well.
